The photograph is of five students from Mitchell Elementary School located on 32nd and Lafayette Street in Denver, Colorado. The students are standing behind a large model of New Amsterdam. The two girls are kneeling holding dolls. The three boys are standing. One boy is holding a pick, and one is holding a saw. There is a windmill and three buildings in the model. One of the buildings appears to be a fort with weapons. A river runs through the model. It has one boat and two canoes on it. The posters hanging on the wall read "Dutch" and "Period, 1492-1776".
